Many pundits are saying the the Roberts " defection " was done in reaction to the over abundance of publicity given to Justice Kennedy prior to the vote, as he was considered the “swing” voter and the " moderate" voice of conservatism on the court. Roberts wanted it known whose “court” it really was. Everyone knows what wing-nuts Scalia and Thomas are, so Roberts can use them as straw men for his opinions without being tarred with the same brush. Alito goes along with the herd but Kennedy is the X- factor and the darling of the press. In short, ego overcame dogma.

I find your idea very interesting. I have a friend who thinks that Kennedy revels in being the swing vote because he likes all the attention it brings him. Do you know if there is any well reasoned analysis about that idea?

And yet ironically the corporations won again. After all the Affordable Care Act is a creature of The Heritage Foundation and noted hard line ‘think tank’ crafted it and governor Willard “Mitt” Romney first used it state wide. Than that noted Republican—-Democrat Pres. Obama thought it a good idea to keep corporations healthy and making sure US tax payer money would be paid to corporations by forcing US citizens to join any of them and the ones who can’t afford it will have it paid to said Health corps.

Agreed, it’s not perfect. Single payer would be better (and cheaper for all of us). Agreed, corporations benefit. But so do actual people, which is more than can be said for any Wall Street bailouts. Check this site.

With unemployment over 8% and the economy in the crapper for every minute of “The Ones” 1st term because failed policies of the prior eight years, let’s be forced to spend 3 1/2 yrs fighting with idiots and biggots to get real health care to the Amercan people. Yeah. That’s the ticket.Ramnee doesn’t scare me. It’s the people who willingly vote for the Dweeb that scare me. Obama 2012!!

It’s a petty mind that gets so exercised about typos. Or as Sancho Panza would say to Don Quixote when he’d misuse some word or phrase—I’m paraphrasing here—“You understand the meaning of my words. Why are you complaining.”

Note to jimjammer: I stop reading when I see ignorant comments about “Obamacare” and “I’ll be paying for your healthcare” – silly things like that. As has been said, over and over:

1. The “tax” is expected to affect 1 percent of Americans.2. The idea of an individual mandate is an idea that started in the conservative Heritage Foundation…..Mitt Romney told us that last fall.3. Romney has even said as recently in a 2009 USA Today op-ed piecethat he supported a “tax penalty".Also, “Repeal of all the things, I said, that help children, help young adults, help seniors, help men or women who may have prostate cancer, breast cancer, whatever it is, any precondition. And everybody will have lower rates, better quality care and better access.” (Pelosi, another of your hated spawn of the devil)You remind me quite a bit of my brother – he also hates everything about Obama, socialism, the new Healthcare, etc., and rants about how we’re doomed. However, he will never give up his Medicare,which has saved him many thousands in cancer treatments and surgeries, along with his government mandated Part F and prescription drug coverage – these are OK, as they benefit him. Almost like socialized medicine, sort of?
